2 out of 5 stars Way basic book   November 25, 2008
Allen D. Yoder (Dallas, TX)
Book is strictly for beginners and really does not cover the difference between behavior in previous windows operating systems and Vista. IMHO it should.


1 out of 5 stars Not worth it   October 27, 2008

I purchased this book to learn my way around Vista. I didn't think it was worth the money. It was more like a Welcome to Windows beginner book. I haven't found anything on here that has been helpful in my Vista experience. Much easier to just research online....

Virginia J. Dolder (Gainesville, FL)
Windows Vista for Dummies is just what I needed to allow me to, "step by step" transfer from my old program to my new computer... I am not dumb but I do enjoy following instructions, step-by-step, written with a little humor...
Thanks,
Virginia J. Dolder

3 out of 5 stars Not 'dumb' enough.....   September 19, 2008
Mary Lou (Prescott Valley, AZ USA)
Although the friends that I bought this book for are enjoying it, it doesn't give them the minute details that they really need. They have never had a computer before and this book assumes they know more than they do. We forget how overwhelming the computer was for us when we first got started and assume that everyone has a basic understanding of what to do. If this book is truly for dummies, it needs to be really basic for such people.
